Congrats to Ruba, Keel & David in Dana Point!
Janna, We are completely in love with Tibor. He is everything you described and more. He has a heart of gold, he’s smart, observant and interested in us. He’s a teddy bear and as calm, gentle and kind as can be when we groom him. He loves attention, loves music, nuzzles us and is a prankster. He loves to laugh at his own antics. We can’t wait to see him every day, sometimes 3 times. He arrived like thunder-bolt and beautiful and proud. Although he still thinks he is a stallion, he’s trustworthy.
The entire stable is in love with him and impressed by him. The dressage trainer said he’s a gentlemen with excellent classical training and a beautiful mind. The Farrier has never seen hooves and legs like Tibor’s on a Friesian.
He’s a fairytale dream. So beautiful and such an amazing personality.
Thank you for making this happen! We are so grateful!
I want your new clients to know you are watching out for them! You were so gracious, flexible and responsive all along and made this easy! We know you wanted us to get the right horse, as first time horse buyers. You made our concerns your concerns and gave us lots of room to ruminate and decide. You are so patient. We appreciated it.
Best, Ruba in
Dana Point, CA

Congrats to Bob and Kelly in NJ on 2 AMAZING Boys!!
Janna is exceptional at what she does! My husband and I purchased two gorgeous Friesians from Janna. This was a sight unseen purchase and it could not have gone better. Our two beauties are constantly getting praise and accolades from trainers, vets, peers, farriers, groomers, family etc. We hear how beautiful they are, how well trained they are and how mild and kind their temperaments are. As of recent, our vet could not believe how young yet well behaved they are and we couldn’t have asked for a better conformation test! We’ve worked with trainers who have competed at the Grand Prix level and they are blown away by our boys. I feel very blessed to have worked with Janna and incredibly grateful that she matched us with such AMAZING geldings!!

Jenni & Caspian! HAPPY New Partnership:):)
Dear Janna, Thank you for all of your help with Caspian. I am thrilled beyond belief to have found him! I have several Friesian/Percheron crosses and never dreamed that I would ever find the perfect Full Friesian for me. The moment I sat on him, I fell in love. He is the perfect height and size for me (I am 5'11")! I never dreamed such a horse could ever be mine. The attached photos are from my first rides! Since then, I have had the opportunity to ride and drive Caspian on many occasions. There are so many reasons I love Caspian. His sweet and steady nature are impressive! I have a brain tumor and sometimes am unsteady and unbalanced. Caspian is kind and never takes a false step. I trust him and he is very safe, not only for riding, but also driving (on those days when my balance won't let me get on a horse). This is not to say that I have found Caspian to be a dead-head...he certainly has a big way of going and has quite a motor! I love that! Caspian's Dressage training is evident and we will be competing him as soon as we are all ready. Dreams do come true! Thanks to you, for making my dreams come true!
All the best!
Jenni

Headed to a Winery in Napa Wine Country
Mission Accomplished!
(Floris was a surprise Birthday present for the buyer's wife:):)!)
Floris is doing great. Settling in well, being loved. Has a ‘winery’ name of Magie Noir (Black Magic in French), pronounced Majhie.
Update 4 years Later...
Hi Janna,
You helped me buy a horse, Floris (we renamed him Magie Noir), in late 2020 and imported him to Calistoga, where he has been living a wonderful life ever since. Our 2019 Magie Noire Cabernet Sauvignon wine bears his name. Magie has been a spectacular horse for us. He lives on a winery horse ranch, is ridden most days, and is a hit with our guests with his regal look and overall kindness.
Barry Waitte
Tamber Bey, Calistoga
From Jennifer:
Xmas, 2020:
"Welcome to the Tamber Bey Family Magie Noire! Magie (pronounced Majhie) is a Friesian gelding from the Netherlands. He flew to California from Amsterdam on Dec. 7th and arrived in Napa on Dec. 12. He spent a few days at our home in Yountville to make sure he was happy and rested from his travels, and then moved to the Tamber Bey winery in Calistoga on Dec. 16th.
How Magie came to Napa is a special story. As many of you know, we recently lost our our beloved Friesian Merlin (also purchased from BlackSterlingFriesians.com by the winery's previous owner) at the age of 24. Barry wanted to get another Friesian, but I talked him out of it for a host of reasons, including just bad timing because of the aftermath of the fire, the COVID crisis, and the overall uncertainty that 2020 was delivering. Unbeknownst to me, Barry covertly found, purchased and imported Magie from Holland, and surprised me with him. SURPRISE!
Magie has been shown in dressage (level 3), driving and show driving. We are looking forward to dusting off Merlin's buggy and taking it for a spin around the vineyards in the spring.
Please come visit Magie at the winery!

Grats to Kathleen in Michigan!
Hi Janna -
I purchased Terrell (aka Merlin) from you in November. Just an update to let you know we are doing great! Terrell arrived in Michigan in GREAT FORM!! He's such a sweet and gentle giant! Folks around the barn call him "Hollywood " because he's so handsome😜. We're working on lower level dressage since the weather here in Michigan is not conducive to trail riding just yet and we're having a blast! Such a quick learner😃. NO DOUBT he's going to be a brave and amazing boy on the trails as nothing seems to phase him!
Thanks for such a fabulous boy.... he's a perfect match for me!
Kindly,
Kathy

Eric in Fla is going to have a SPECTACULAR FRIESIAN on the Police Force!
Tomas is doing amazing! He adapted to his new home perfectly from day 1....he seems very happy. The experience was very painless and I would definitely do it again with blacksterlingfriesians.com if I was in the market for another horse!
Buying this beautiful horse from you was one my best experiences. From the moment I saw this horse and you explained to me everything about him, and assisted me with the entire process from Netherlands to Florida.
Thank you!
